Roger Roger Poet Rhyme

A Jolly Fisherman

One day, Jolly Ping went fishing
He was whistling while he was sitting
For the birds up on the tree were singing
To his catch they were patiently waiting

Beside him was his joyful dog Billy 
Barking at the birds up on the tree
While his jolly cat Tilly 
Was having an eating spree

He gently threw his fish hook in the water
His bait did sway and totter
In his eyes there was a glitter
The curious fishes came closer and closer

Then a cunning fish suddenly took a bite
Jolly Ping eagerly lifted his fish hook 
Overjoyed by the scene in his sight 
Jolly Ping pulled closer to look 

Oh! What a big fish that he caught 
Jolly Ping jumped in sudden ecstacy 
Took out another earthworm that he brought 
Then sang a joyful melody 

The whole day was so jolly 
For Ping had a lot of catch 
He gave a sweet hug to his wife Molly 
While his pets were there to watch
